I hand pick my hides from my supplier to get the thickest and most defect free leather. Then I cut it into strips for belts. These belts are thick... depending upon the hides that are available. They average 12 - 16 Oz. in thickness. Each ounce of thickness is equal to 1/64". Most belts that you buy in a store are about 8 Oz. thick and are thin leather or "pleather" with a cardboard stiffener core. These low quality, high priced belts usually last a few months and then the big box store gets you coming back to buy another junk belt.
I use great leather, heavy duty buckles and hardware so that my belt can last you decades. Seriously, decades.
